Parsons is accused of hiding a Global Positioning System (GPS) device in a woman's car, totally unbeknownst to her. The device was discovered after the woman noticed that Parsons kept popping up unexpectedly in places he wasn't known to frequent.

According to the DA, after the stalk-a-lot cop and Jane Doe had several run-ins, she became suspicious enough to check her car. She found the device, which belonged to the Costa Mesa PD, and reported it to the police.

Officer Parsons is being charged with unlawful use of an electronic tracking device, which could land him a maximum sentence of six months in jail.
